Probing Interstellar Dust With Space-Based Coronagraphs
N. J. Turner, K. Grogan, J. B. Breckinridge
We show that space-based telescopes such as the proposed Terrestrial Planet Finder Coronagraph will be able to detect the light scattered by the interstellar grains along lines of…
New Debris Disks Around Nearby Main Sequence Stars: Impact on The Direct Detection of Planets
C. Beichman, G. Bryden, K. Stapelfeldt
Using the MIPS instrument on the Spitzer telescope, we have searched for infrared excesses around a sample of 82 stars, mostly F, G, and K main-sequence field stars, along with a s…
Images of Vega Dust Ring at 350 and 450 microns: New Clues to the Trapping of Multiple-Sized Dust Particles in Planetary Resonances
K. A. Marsh, C. D. Dowell, T. Velusamy +2
We have used the SHARC II camera at Caltech Submillimeter Observatory to make 350 and 450 micron images of the Vega dust disk at spatial resolutions (FWHM) of 9.7" and 11.1", respe…
Image of Fomalhaut Dust Ring at 350 Microns: Relative Column Density Map Shows Pericenter-Apocenter Asymmetry
K. A. Marsh, T. Velusamy, C. D. Dowell +2
We have imaged the circumstellar disk of Fomalhaut at 350 microns wavelength, using SHARC II at the Caltech Submillimeter Observatory. The spatial resolution of the raw images (9 a…
